Aloha!
My next shopping excursion did not involve any fabric finds, but was so delicious that I feel compelled to share it. In the morning we hiked down to one of the best beaches I've ever seen called Secret Beach. It's not very easy to get to, but well worth it!
After we hit a nearby local farmer's market. It was full of local artisans as well as community farmers. We picked up some awesome produce and met some great people. Fresh pineapple, mango, passion fruit, some types of fruit I've never seen, and the list goes on...We then found 2 types of local fish, Akule and Ono. After receiving some cooking advice from the kind folks at the market, we were on our way.
One funny fact about Kauai: There are wild, tropical chickens/roosters just walking around everywhere, and I mean everywhere. In rural and urban areas, you'll encounter these guys. The story goes that post a big storm in the mid 90's, many chickens escaped their farms and have been roaming free ever since. Another bird you might encounter while walking around in the more mountainous areas is the Nene(a goose), the Hawaiian state bird.
We spent dusk at another breathtaking beach in Anahola Bay. I think the picture below says it all.
Lastly, we cooked all of our farmer's market finds on the grill back at out little bungalow and the result was yummy!
Mahalo,
